Chris Sharma sends 5.14c (8c+) Yuji Hirayama's project in Japan

[@mattgraham4340]

Great video. Very generous of Yuji to provide beta on his project for a world class climber. I hope other climbers can be so humble.

[@deloprojet]

He is a very good person, I am happy to follow him to photograph and film for several months.

[@CycloPioneer]

@matt graham I've never met a climber who wasn't willing to share beta or help me or someone else through a climb/project and i think that is a wonderfull aspect of this sport/hobby

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Chris Sharma will always be my favorite climber because of his humility and very positive, calming attitude. Seems like some climbers today are more obsessed with being considered the best that they lose sight of why we climb in the first place (find inner peace, become one with nature, etc...). Great to see such a calming video put together. Hopefully this video will make the rounds and we can get back to enjoying climbing for what it is and not only see it as a means of achieving notoriety and fame. Awesome job guys✌🏽

[@deloprojet]

Wow, exactly the comment that I was waiting for. Now, I'm editing another video of the same style with Yuji Hirayama, just waiting a day or two.

[@TCPSingh]

Very well said

[@himbeersirup4853]

You assert that in the first place "we" climb to find inner peace and become one with nature. That may be why you climb, but to dictate to others what the right reasons for climbing are and to implicitly devalue other attitudes and lifestyles seems disrespectful and intolerant to me. Every climber has their own reason to climb, and to me every reason and approach is equally valid.

[@dustinirwin1]

It's weird how critical your comment is while extolling the virtues of inner peace, all the while ranking humans as better than others based on how you perceive the virtues. Let folks pursue their own passions for their own reasons free of our judgments.

[@cragexplorers7355]

Amen 😁

[@Kabanginator]

I really liked this video. It's cool to see Sharma crushing. He's definitely the GOAT in my eyes.

[@deloprojet]

I'm glad you enjoyed watching.

[@koltface]

That was a great video. Thanks for showing so much of Chris working on the crux!

[@deloprojet]

You are welcome.

[@chuckz28]

Great film. I love seeing the problem solving process included and it's always great seeing Chris climb.

[@deloprojet]

it's always interesting to see problems solve.

[@tambling3961]

Awesome Video. Editing is really great. I love that so much of the working process is included and that there are only a few cuts. Thank you :)

Yeah this is a great video. A really cool aspect capturing Chris working this out with Yuji, then the full uncut view of the final send. Awesome vid man

[@ryanwsu4]

"thats a bad hold eh?" Chris' good holds are my crux holds lol so his bad holds wouldn't even register in my mind if saw them as an option lol

[@deloprojet]

Yes it was, he found the right movement very quickly.

[@MrWorldArts]

Beautiful video, amazed as always with chris's humbleness and technique aligned so nicely with the japanese philosophy.

[@deloprojet]

I'm glad you liked it, it's always nice to have positive feedback.

[@BreakingBeta]

Great video! I was so absorbed in it that the 15 minutes flew by. Great angles and framing to see the holds and a nice medium/wide for the uncut send

[@deloprojet]

Thank you very much for this great positive comment, I can continue in this direction.

[@1234qwerlmao]

Caught my breath when Chris dry fired off the hold at the 1220 mark. Nice to see him with his normally dynamic climbing style climbing something more insecure than limestone.

[@deloprojet]

It's a good short movie then. Thank you very much.

excellent video my friend! really nice raw footage of GOAT's climbing. creative feedback from me is that i felt the music was a bit to high. but supersweet video. much love from sweden.

also, crazy that your videos has so few plays! you got my sub and will recommend you to everyone i can find!

Thanks a lot, I'll be careful with the music for the next one.

[@maxwright4387]

the dust masks lmao as someone who wears diff types of respirators all the time for work, all those paper masks are doing is retaining some warmth from the breath, and maybe creating a secondary salival environment, there is breath coming in through the sides. just wear a gaitor. this video was great btw

[@deloprojet]

thank you for the comment on the mask, it's interesting.

[@maxwright4387]

@@deloprojet we are hyperconscious of our breath, irritants, neural pathways, etc... when i'm not dealing with actually toxic dust e.g. mold or lead paint, its a thin merino neck warmer. ( ; chinese urban smog i think is the real problem... im not sure exactly what is the right thing for it

interesting how bad petzl team climbers belay with the grigri although petzl makes so many videos about belaying

[@deloprojet]

Interesting point raised here, but these are not petzl athletes. Maybe that's why (smile)...

[@deloprojet]

With the exception of Chris Sharma, but he does not belaye in this video.

Dont grab draws if you dont know how to grab them. Grab them if you do, and need to.

Wut? Every person that has ever projected at their limit has grabbed draws. It's fine. Because one or two people have hurt themselves now no-one should grab draws?

Ok, next rime I will say him.

[@ruu7574]

C’mon mate - never ever - EVER - let go of the brake rope?! You learn that in your first minute of every climbing course or at the crag - can‘t be serious even if you‘re using a grigri...

[@deloprojet]

In fact Chris is "direct", that's why Yuji Hirayama looses the rope. When editing the video I did a lot of cutting, there are several hours of footages. It's good to report it indirectly.

[@ruu7574]

delo projet at 1:43 he‘s lowering him and also looses the rope before - might of course be cut a little bit unlucky if chris is direct but not the best role model... Maxbe look for it next time so there are no doubts - but nevertheless great footage, nice angles, cool edit - really worth to watch 👍🏻

[@deloprojet]

Thank you very much for pointing it out to me, I would be careful in the future. Normally we do not film the belayer, but as it was a world-class climber, I put it in the video. Exactly I'm on the edition of another video, which is obvious for me not necessarily for the spectators, thank you again.

[@deloprojet]

Next time I'll tell Yuji Hirayama to be careful, I'm filming. Thank you again.

[@mirceacraciun]

climb like yuji, don't belay like him

[@TheChujowynick]

Chris, I have to tell you, I like your climbing style. It is clean and calm. You don't scream like frienzied Ondra. Different league.

[@deloprojet]

I absolutely agree with you.

[@moonti6820]

I can't disagree more with you. Have you forgot the famous Sharma scream ? The man literally specialized himself in climbing powerfull limestone routes and you're calling him clean and calm... Ondra is the one putting dropknee everywhere and climbing with technique and efficience while Sharma campus every other moves.

[@g.n.1393]

Sharma don't scream? Ahahah hah. R u serious
